With this program we want to help you reach your goal of acquiring superior specialization in this highly-demanded field"

There has always been great interest in the diagnosis of disease, even before the onset of symptoms, by means of biomarkers, i.e. substances that detect an individual's state of illness. The best known are glycoproteins that are used as tumor markers, the most important being CA 125. This marker has been used in clinical practice, although there is limited evidence about its diagnostic and prognostic capacity. However, in the absence of other options, its usefulness will be evaluated in the presence of a suspected diagnosis with combined tests.  

In addition, many other biomarkers have been investigated in both blood and urine. The investigation of antibodies and hormone markers has been promising but limited, likewise, interleukin analysis has its usefulness, although it is reduced. The different lines of research with the association of vascular markers and growth factors that may be used in the future will also be evaluated. Having in-depth knowledge of the association of these markers with the diagnosis of endometriosis helps to understand both the origin and the stage of the disease. However, the most advanced studies where it seems that we are trying to reach a useful marker in clinical practice belong to the field of genetics, both in the search for microRNA and lncRNA, as well as with the association of genetic polymorphisms. After the initial difficulties encountered in the study of microRNAs, studies are now focusing on lncRNAs. Although, as you will learn in this postgraduate certificate, the analysis of combined polymorphisms is much more promising and understandable.
